His somfiiwffl has rather moro enltien. tioifahd perhaps more natural ability. though far from being a genius. Jiut he is, a thorough gentloman in msnnor and address; and if, ont.sido of his politics, ho ever did an nnjast or un worthy act, we noven heard ot it. We think he will bo tho Democratic candidate for no.tt President, for theso reasons : Tho party is now on its high horse, and not, likely to stultify itself as it did when it ran n General on a Pcaco platform. It believes it may consult its wishes rather than its fears in choosing a standard-bearer, and is not likely to ha itudeccivod before making its 5'ational nominations. Now Mr. Pendleton embodies its ideas and its purposes as thoroughly and palpably as Mr. Clav over did thoo of tho Whig part j A Whig by education, ho is a Democrat by conviction and by delib erate! choice. In Congress, thronghout tho War, he never mado a speech nor gavo a vote that Robert K. Leo or John Slidull could object to. Never desiring Disunion, be had early studied Calhoun and become a convert to his view of State Rights and Federal limita tion;, and ho read tho Constitution as giving luo reaorai authority no power to cocrco or sustain a State. Holding tliu War on the part of tho Union ag- gro-stvo aim unjust, tic gave it no sup port, no couiilonancc, whether by word or deed. And, dele-ting tho National Debt as representing tho means wheroby the Confederacv was overthrown, he is is now open in his advocacy of its prompt extinction by i .riming o:r Two Thousand Millions of l esh greenbacks and giving everv holder of that Debt the faeo of his bo ads in currcnev, thus stopping the intiirest on the Debt at once and jitsti- ifrmir a reduction id all 1-cienil in. noils and taxes bv otic half.

Then, if Two Hundred and Fifty Millions could somobow be borrowed or otherwise rai.- J 1, the debt might be got rid of at oueo.; or it would be easy to wait till the 'j'i.icrcdited rags wore out, perish- od in con'lagration, or were otherwise destn.ved.

At tho dato of tho troaty, Au gnst 11, 1S07, there was probably from 1500 to 2,200 occupants of the tract in question, whoso rights to tho purchase of claims under its provisions wore rocognized by that instrument. Besides these, thero are probably as many moro who have gono on tho lands since tho dato of the troaty, who do not at present fall within its provisions and many of whom have mado valuablo improvements, somo 50 or GO acres. It is, then, I think, no exaggerated estimate, that these three or four thousand sottlers represent a population of 12,000 to 15,000 souls. The improvements on this tract will, in all probability, equal, or exceed the valu ation put on tho land. ILeso aro tho facts in the caso. To comprehend the situation more fullr. it is nocossarr to state, that owiii" to somo mistake, or misappre hension of tho boundaries, a part of tho Neutral tract was ton years ago supposed to bo public, or ceded Now York Indian lands. Under Surveyor Ucnerai Calhoun, tho surveys were commonccd on what is called tho eight milo strip, or the pnrt in Bourbon county. At that timo many settlers went upon tho laud on tho supposition that it was government land. The :urvcys wero discontinued. Hcforo tho breaking out of the war, tho Chcro-Icco Indian agent, a whito man, an appointee of ISuchanan, attempted to dnvo off tho settlors from tho Neutral lands with a detachment of United a,a,0i tr00P iwn.cn oy treaty tno government was bound to do) although uc, ""okco peopio ana govcrnrnoni had no hand in tho occnrrcuco. When the war broke out all snch attempts wero abandoned. During the war, "ovornmeut soldiers, teamsters and tho tract, wore indncod' as thev left the service. IJuring tho satno reason OI war, great numbers tied from Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, and as this tract wai tho fir-t reached, and to tho greatest extent open ti settlement, they consequently settled there. The greater part of theso settlers have gono on thoio lands on tho supposition that they were, or would bo government InmU. So much for the settlers side of the quoation, Tho Chcrokeo Neutral lands were sold by the goverumont of the United States in 1S35, and a patent issued therefor, "in feo simple, forever," and bears the signature of Martin Van-Burcn. Tho purchaso was made after tho Cherokee Nation had purchased and paid for its ether lands. It was mado chiefly at tho instauco of the United States, and the tract was do-signed for tho Chcrokeo use, in case their other lands should bo lound insufficient. Tho cost to tho Cherokco Nation, principal, and interest at C per cent, (the lowest amount of interest paid thereon, on any portion of tho funds from which it was taken) would amount to $1,100,000. But few Cbero-kecs over settled on theso lands. There is not at present to exceed two dozen Chcrokeo claimants. Tho Chcrokoes desired tho government to buy it back again. The tract in question undoubtedly far oxcecds in natural wealth tho same extent of country any where in Kansas. Tho soil is good. It is hotter timbered than any othor parts of the Stato. Tho moment you strike it you striko tho eoal of Southorn Kansas, and though niauy of the surfaco seams now workod aro thin, they aro ot an excellent quality, and. undoubtedly cover thicker veins. When tho govornment of tho United States entered into the treaty of 1S0G, w;t, the Chorokco Nation, its resolntalv refused to buv the othcials tract as - . . . " . . ted, but encouraged tho industrious on kcc -ati0n; and sold at not less than tbe appraisement on its account. A : . . - ..j i ... ..o a the land at the dato of the troaty should bo permitted to purchaso tboir lands, without compensation, at tho appraisod valuo. A provision was also inserted at tho instance ot tho Interior Departmont, authorising tho Secretary to ,cj tb0 r03;jlJ0 -m a body for cash at not loss than a fixed amount. at not less than a fixed amount, Under tho lattor clause tho tract was sold "on credit" to what was styled the "Connecticut Land Company," but tho salo was set asido on tho opinion of the Attorney General. An amended trcatv was entered into sell- ing tho residue (not including tho lands of settlors.) to Fremont, but tho supplemental treaty was dofeatcd. Tho commissioners sro at work appraising, and the expectation was that no salo woulfl bo mado to a company until soma provision was mado by which actual sottiers on .the lands would tret 1 1. . i . . . mcir lanus at mo appraised value. Several railroad companies havo boen itching to possess them, and it is again rumored that tho Chicago, Bnr- nugion ijuiucy railroad corapanv havo boucht m tho interest of tho llordor Tier road. If this be truo it shows a remarksblo chango in tho policy of the govornment on the queition of public lands. The Officials of tho Cabinet and Denart- wuuis uy mis act. prcier to turn two thousand sottiers out of thoir selected homes and improvements to obligo a railroad company.

Tbe.ro aro moro matches mado up in country honsos than in all west-end London ones put together. Indeed, London is allowod to be only the covor for finding tho gamo in, and tho country the placo for running it down, just as you nnd your r-ox in tho wood, and run him down in the open plain. ISO carctul, therefore, what you are about. It is much oasior to get entangled with a girl than to get free again, for though they always olfor to set a young man free, they know better. Abovo all, nover consult a malo friend in those matters. The stupid est woman that ever was born is hot ter than tho cleverest man in a love affair. In fact no man is a match for woman until ho is marriod not all even thon. The worst of voung men is, thoy never know their worth until is too lato. Ihev think tho girls nre difficult to catch, whereas, there is nothing so easy unless, ns I said be- fore tho girls aro bettor engaged. In deed a young man should always havo his mamma at his elbow to guard him against the machinations of the fair. As, howover, that cannot be, let mo urgo you to bo careful of what you aro about, and as you seem to havo plenty of choice, don't bo moro attontivo to ono sister than to another, by which you will escape tho rod eye-lids, end also oscapo having mamma declaring you have trifled with Maria's or Sophia's feelings, and all tho old women of tho neighborhood denouncing you for your conduct, and making up to you "themselves for one of their own girls. Some ladies ask a man's intentions boforo he is fully aware that ho has any himself; but these aro tho spoil sport sort of women. Most of thorn are prudont enough to get a man well hooked before thoy hand him over to papa. It is generally a caso of "Ask Mamma" first. Beware of brothers. I have known undoubted hoir-osses crumplod up to nothing by tho appearance (after the catch) of two or three heavy dragoous. Tin 2iott Taker. Ten Follies.

IVard Reccher's Orthodoxy. In tho last "lecture room talk" of Henry Ward Bccchor, before going away on his summer vacation, ho said if 1 should never meet with you again 1 hope in bod 1 may, manv times thro' many yoars I should do- siro to loavo my last testimony in this wiso: That I nover in my lilo was more persuaded, nor as much as I am now, of tbo indispcnsablo need which there is in all men of a new birth of I a moral chango which amounts to recreation. Tho dying need of religions power in thoir "souls, I nover recog nized as tullv as now. j-.vory step m my experience in life, with myself and my lcllows, reveals this groat need. 1 nover so mnch as now believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, in His lovo and in His saving power. I never so much as now believed in the influence of tho Holv Ghost, by which the truth is quickened and mado effectual. I never so much as now felt that the strength of any Christian ministry must dopend upon the amount which it was ablo to prcsontof God as rovoaled in tho por- son ot the .Lord Jesus Uhnst, And J do in my own mind, believe that is tho secret oi" my sucooss in tbo ministry.

The following is a story told by tho Bit hop of Tennsssco an t'o recent Churcn Congress, in London, as sbow- ng tb education ot a plantation readier, iio said: "I was visiting a plantation, and the ell was rung and tho negroes, num bering somo tivo hundred, gathered in the parlors and piazzas of the house, bolonging unfortunately for hinisolf, to a bachelor. Aftor reading a chapter to them, I preached and said that I would hold a service the next day to baptize such as should bo presented. baptized between soventy ami eiguiy and. after service. I fell into convorsa. tion with "Uncle Tony, a pianiauon preacher. I asked him about various Christian doctrines, and finally said; ml it: lint nhout tho roiurrcuiiou : With a vory solemn face ho replied : 1 oil soo, master, iniiuu"' uumvui. "Yes." "Well, you sco, doro is a spontu.il body, and dis body mado out of dus'." "Well, you sco when tho tho Angol Gabriel comes down from Heaben, and p-nin' un and down de Ribcr Jordan, a blowin of his trumpet, and de birds of llcabenbingin, and de oells ot neaocn ringin,' and do milk and do honey rainin down on all do hills of Heaben and take dis hero body out of do dus, and tako de intment and rub it on,dcn stick togedder anddardey is." Col. Moore, living noar Butler, Bates county, took tbrco frogs and a rauskratfrom the bottom of a well fortj feet doen. which ho was digging, miles awav from timl tr or running water.

A Cuicao.0 papor says : Wo took ft now reporter on trial yesterday. Ho went out to hunt items, and alter being away all dny, returned with tho following, which he said was tbo best ho cotrld do : "Yesterday wo saw a sight which frozo our muscles with horror. A hackman was driving down Clark street at a rapid pace, came very near running over n nurse and two children. There would have been ono of tho most heart-rendingjeatastrophies ever recorded, had not tho nurse with won derful forethought, loft the children at homo before sho went ont, and providentially stopped into a drug store just before the hack passed. Then, too, tho hackman, just boioro reaching tho crossing, thought of something ho had forgotton, anil turning about, drove in tho opposito direction. Had it not beon for this wonderful concurrence of favoring circumstances, a doting father, a loving mother and affectionate brothers and sisters would have been plunged into tho deepest woe and most unuttorablo funeral expenses." Tho now reporter will bo retained. The Rciss or Hujiasitv. Of all the ruins on which the eye of man can gaze, or on which the momory can dwell, nono are moro pamtully sublime than the ruins of humanity and what aro they ? Not tho deep furrow which timo plonghs on tho cheeks, or the silvery whiteness with which years cover tho head not tho curved spine, which bows tho faco to the, earth, as if looking for a grave to rest in, for tho wrinkled cheek and stooping frame aro the appropriate accompanimonts of ago, and as beautiful in the svstem of life as winter with his leafless treos and frozen streams in tho system of seasons; but tho ruins ot humanity nro in wrinkles which timo has not made, in a framo trembling with anxi-oty, shaken by sorrow, humbled by sin, withered by despair whon all tho beauty ot youth is gone, and tho beauty of ago has not supplied its place it is as melancholy as snow in harvest. A Beautiful Picture. Tha follow ing is contributed to the Hqrald of Health by Mrs. Glcoson : "I onco sat on a porch at twilight with a littlo boy in my lap. His bright plump faco glowod with a coaxing ad miration its he turned it upward, say ing : "Jiloon and star, como down to m." After an expectant delav ho ee.om.ed to remember that please was a powerful word for procuring pleasures in his happy circle. Feeling sure of success this time, each tiny band was oxtcuded, with palms upward, ready to receive tho gifts when thoy doscendod, as he said : "Moon and star, please do como to me." Finding that evon please did not bring down tho desired treasure, ho gently laid his hands in his lap, and, with a soft sigh of resignation, said: "Moon and stars too high for mo '." but still with radiant faco ho gazed admiringly. I then thought terror and troublo would como to us if, in maturor years, wo had our own way at all tiinos, just as in morcy moon and stars woro ueiu in their course dospito childish pleadings. So, when our hopes aro doferrod, or plans fail, wo may. bv a contemplation of Nature's quiot grandeur, grow cool and content, saying: "All mis wnicu we asked was too high for us. Marino, the Desert Blossom. Tho artesian wells in Algeria, long attet..pt- od without success, now number about ono hundred, dehvoring nvo or six million litres of water por hour, convor ingdosorts into gardons wherever thoy have boon bored. The work is going on, defrayed by tax upon the benefitted population, and is dostinod to reclaim incalculable wastes. In a single district (Oulod Bir) stretching far south into tho desert, and now containing thirty wells, two thousand new gardens" havo been formed and one hundred and fifty thousand date trees planted. Four military boring brigades, well provided with implements, and with growing hkilland experience, aro steadily pushing on the conquest of tho desert, nnd with almost unerring suc cess in every attempt. The invontorv which has been published of Mr. Lincoln's estato, at the timo of his doath, discloses tbo fact that nearly ail ho had was invested in fiovcriime'r-t securities. His interest was thus voluntarily and deliberately identified with that of his country, the property ho had, all salaries All re- cioved during office, abovo hiscxpon-diltiro-i, woro loanod to tho Government and staked upon its success. No more conclusive ovidence of his singlo-hearte.l and guileless devotion to his country could bo adduced than this simple fact. How honorably it contrasts with tho records of thoso men who. underfalse and hollow professions fortheConstitution,Iecricd the government credit, reiued to advance it monev, discouraged others from doing ho and directed their investments in such a way as to reflect on tbo soundness and honest v of the National Gov- rnment Taylor jug.'

His somfiiwffl has rather moro enltien. tioifahd perhaps more natural ability. though far from being a genius. Jiut he is, a thorough gentloman in msnnor and address; and if, ont.sido of his politics, ho ever did an nnjast or un worthy act, we noven heard ot it. We think he will bo tho Democratic candidate for no.tt President, for theso reasons : Tho party is now on its high horse, and not, likely to stultify itself as it did when it ran n General on a Pcaco platform. It believes it may consult its wishes rather than its fears in choosing a standard-bearer, and is not likely to ha itudeccivod before making its 5'ational nominations. Now Mr. Pendleton embodies its ideas and its purposes as thoroughly and palpably as Mr. Clav over did thoo of tho Whig part j A Whig by education, ho is a Democrat by conviction and by delib erate! choice. In Congress, thronghout tho War, he never mado a speech nor gavo a vote that Robert K. Leo or John Slidull could object to. Never desiring Disunion, be had early studied Calhoun and become a convert to his view of State Rights and Federal limita tion;, and ho read tho Constitution as giving luo reaorai authority no power to cocrco or sustain a State. Holding tliu War on the part of tho Union ag- gro-stvo aim unjust, tic gave it no sup port, no couiilonancc, whether by word or deed. And, dele-ting tho National Debt as representing tho means wheroby the Confederacv was overthrown, he is is now open in his advocacy of its prompt extinction by i .riming o:r Two Thousand Millions of l esh greenbacks and giving everv holder of that Debt the faeo of his bo ads in currcnev, thus stopping the intiirest on the Debt at once and jitsti- ifrmir a reduction id all 1-cienil in. noils and taxes bv otic half.

At tho dato of tho troaty, Au gnst 11, 1S07, there was probably from 1500 to 2,200 occupants of the tract in question, whoso rights to tho purchase of claims under its provisions wore rocognized by that instrument. Besides these, thero are probably as many moro who have gono on tho lands since tho dato of the troaty, who do not at present fall within its provisions and many of whom have mado valuablo improvements, somo 50 or GO acres. It is, then, I think, no exaggerated estimate, that these three or four thousand sottlers represent a population of 12,000 to 15,000 souls. The improvements on this tract will, in all probability, equal, or exceed the valu ation put on tho land. ILeso aro tho facts in the caso. To comprehend the situation more fullr. it is nocossarr to state, that owiii" to somo mistake, or misappre hension of tho boundaries, a part of tho Neutral tract was ton years ago supposed to bo public, or ceded Now York Indian lands. Under Surveyor Ucnerai Calhoun, tho surveys were commonccd on what is called tho eight milo strip, or the pnrt in Bourbon county. At that timo many settlers went upon tho laud on tho supposition that it was government land. The :urvcys wero discontinued. Hcforo tho breaking out of the war, tho Chcro-Icco Indian agent, a whito man, an appointee of ISuchanan, attempted to dnvo off tho settlors from tho Neutral lands with a detachment of United a,a,0i tr00P iwn.cn oy treaty tno government was bound to do) although uc, ""okco peopio ana govcrnrnoni had no hand in tho occnrrcuco. When the war broke out all snch attempts wero abandoned. During the war, "ovornmeut soldiers, teamsters and tho tract, wore indncod' as thev left the service. IJuring tho satno reason OI war, great numbers tied from Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, and as this tract wai tho fir-t reached, and to tho greatest extent open ti settlement, they consequently settled there. The greater part of theso settlers have gono on thoio lands on tho supposition that they were, or would bo government InmU. So much for the settlers side of the quoation, Tho Chcrokeo Neutral lands were sold by the goverumont of the United States in 1S35, and a patent issued therefor, "in feo simple, forever," and bears the signature of Martin Van-Burcn. Tho purchaso was made after tho Cherokee Nation had purchased and paid for its ether lands. It was mado chiefly at tho instauco of the United States, and the tract was do-signed for tho Chcrokeo use, in case their other lands should bo lound insufficient. Tho cost to tho Cherokco Nation, principal, and interest at C per cent, (the lowest amount of interest paid thereon, on any portion of tho funds from which it was taken) would amount to $1,100,000. But few Cbero-kecs over settled on theso lands. There is not at present to exceed two dozen Chcrokeo claimants. Tho Chcrokoes desired tho government to buy it back again. The tract in question undoubtedly far oxcecds in natural wealth tho same extent of country any where in Kansas. Tho soil is good. It is hotter timbered than any othor parts of the Stato. Tho moment you strike it you striko tho eoal of Southorn Kansas, and though niauy of the surfaco seams now workod aro thin, they aro ot an excellent quality, and. undoubtedly cover thicker veins.

An amended trcatv was entered into sell- ing tho residue (not including tho lands of settlors.) to Fremont, but tho supplemental treaty was dofeatcd. Tho commissioners sro at work appraising, and the expectation was that no salo woulfl bo mado to a company until soma provision was mado by which actual sottiers on .the lands would tret 1 1. . i . . . mcir lanus at mo appraised value.

If this be truo it shows a remarksblo chango in tho policy of the govornment on the queition of public lands.

There would have been ono of tho most heart-rendingjeatastrophies ever recorded, had not tho nurse with won derful forethought, loft the children at homo before sho went ont, and providentially stopped into a drug store just before the hack passed. Then, too, tho hackman, just boioro reaching tho crossing, thought of something ho had forgotton, anil turning about, drove in tho opposito direction.

His bright plump faco glowod with a coaxing ad miration its he turned it upward, say ing : "Jiloon and star, como down to m." After an expectant delav ho ee.om.ed to remember that please was a powerful word for procuring pleasures in his happy circle. Feeling sure of success this time, each tiny band was oxtcuded, with palms upward, ready to receive tho gifts when thoy doscendod, as he said : "Moon and star, please do como to me." Finding that evon please did not bring down tho desired treasure, ho gently laid his hands in his lap, and, with a soft sigh of resignation, said: "Moon and stars too high for mo '." but still with radiant faco ho gazed admiringly.
